We only take wedding and event clients during our growing season, April-November.
It's OK if you don't know for sure yet. Our minimum order for full-service weddings is $2500. A la carte services are available for wedding floral budgets below that amount.
Until next year, pretty daffies.
Yesterday was so good. A talented group of passionate flower lovers came to design with farm-grown flowers. This was my demo bouquet. Quince, raspberry, snowball viburnum, coral charm and canary brilliants peony, stainless steel roses, picotee ranunculus, bearded iris, columbine, verbascum ‘southern charm’ Photo by @henryphotographs
I love her. #dottiethesheep #katahdinsheep #bestmama #prettywoman #bestewe #madame
Some of the magic flowers of springtime. A bouquet of apple blossom, lilac, picotee ranunculus, Koko loko and distant drums roses, la Belle Époque tulips, tied with natural, plant dyed silks from @thelesserbear
The forecast lowered the checkered flag and its time to plant plant plant. Everyone remind me to apply sunscreen, drink WATER, locate chapstick, enjoy my able body and back while it lasts...

Lately, things have been good. Busy, certainly...but not frantic. I don’t wake up in a panic as frequently as I used to, or feel my head buzzing with ideas, worries, tasks. I’ve changed some things this year. I hired on a full-time employee, and she has been nothing short of fantastic. I’m sure you’ll have the chance to meet Samantha, whether she’s delivering your bouquet, sending you a proposal, or arranging your candles just so. Or keeping me calm. All are important jobs. She’s good at that stuff. I’ve set some boundaries. Said no to things that cause a great deal of stress, and have used the time I’m saving to think up new ideas that feel better to me. People say to step outside your comfort zone. I guess I get that. But I’m finding that maybe there’s nothing wrong with getting comfortable.

Often times I share the big, opulent pieces. Bridal bouquets, ceremony installations...here is a guest table at one of our weddings. Not pretentious, just simple, natural, beautiful flowers. The best of what’s in season. I just read an interview with @magnusfaviken who is closing his restaurant this year. He is one of several who showed me that it’s not in spite of, but because of the restrictions of seasonality, beautiful things can be created. And there is no greater reward than sculpting from the supply you’ve created yourself.
Today I finally got to meet half of @coveyrisefarmsohio at my seed starting pop-up in the glasshouse @theruralsociety! Kerissa, Charlie, Brad and I spent the winter lambing season sharing successes, struggles, and general sheep related banter via DM...but busy farmers rarely get the chance to socialize (if we’re not working, we’re just too tired for that). Follow along with Covey Rise Farm, and while you are at it, buy their products. Choose to support local farmers. Choose to support transparent farmers.
When Trang and I had our consultation, she hadn’t quite settled on an exact palette for her flowers. That allowed us to dream up something unique together...an ode to the most beautiful flowers and colors of spring...but not too ‘easter’ - I think we pulled it off. I couldn’t have asked for a more incredible kick-off to this year’s wedding season. More April couples next year please universe 🙏 A huge thanks to @kismetvisuals and @jorgensenfarms for the support, beautiful photos, and beautiful canvas!
It’s the first of May...and it’s also Wednesday, which means the farm flowers make a trip to the city, much like they did for @kathleenlayer + Braden. I did deliveries today, which I haven’t done in a very long time! It’s so nice to see everyone’s delighted faces when I pull their order out of our crusty van, a fun juxtaposition. @henryphotographs
I just love this shot by @juliasimmonsphotography of the abundance at our workshop yesterday. Being creative, using local flowers...it’s why we do what we do. Two workshops down on the farm, and I’m loving hosting these small groups of people who want to surround themselves with botanical beauty. So we’re going to keep doing this. I’ll be announcing some summer workshops here soon, but if you’re itching to get here this spring, there are still a few spots in our May floristry course or June bridal bouquet workshop. Beyond learning my techniques, I want people to come and experience designing with flowers you don’t have the opportunity to order or work with regularly. Perhaps flowers with a vase life of only a few days but the fleeting beauty makes up for these shortcomings. Experience harvesting flowers and weaving them into an arrangement while still warm from the sun... And, a unique opportunity to learn seed starting from me is happening this Saturday @theruralsociety...if you are itching to grow your own bounty of flowers, you don’t want to miss it.

So long now I’ve been out in the rain and snow, but Winter’s come and gone, a little bird told me so... . @jennyhaas @auburnandivorycreative
This Saturday, I’ll be teaching my first in a series of workshops that I’ll be hosting on the farm this season. My goals for our attendees are to inspire more home gardeners to grow and arrange flowers for the vase, for fellow farmers to learn some of the tips and tricks we’ve refined for getting lots and lots of unique flowers, and for fellow florists to familiarize themselves with unique, ephemeral, local flowers, and the nuances of client communication, sourcing, and arranging these flowers for weddings and events. Getting the farm ready to host has been quite nice and motivating. Honestly, the place has never looked this good. Tomorrow I tackle the house, so as to not fear judgement from students who need to use our bathroom 🙈. A good project for a (projected) rainy day. We have more spots available still at our remaining workshops, and will be adding some summer classes at the end of the month. It’s not too late to join me.

Coming soon...our little farm stand. We will be selling mixed bouquets, sunflower bunches, and other wares (tomato plants! shishito peppers by the pint!) all summer long at the end of our driveway. More details on our homepage, link in bio ✨ Artwork by the amazing @scriptonefour
So what’d you plant this weekend? Literal and figurative answers apply. @jennapowersphoto @auburnandivorycreative
Fun day today ends with getting my first film scans in! No, not going to throw aside the flowers and become a photographer (I’m awkward, loud (and foul) mouthed, much better suited to my ‘behind the scenes’ role for many reasons 😂), but ever since the amazing @henryphotographs came over two summers ago, to get to know each other and take some photos of my arrangements, I’ve been enamored with film photography. I love the true colors, the old-world bespoke vibe that brilliant photographers you see featured on this profile, can achieve. And, since I’ll eventually run out of ground beef to barter with photographers every time something cute/pretty happens here (jk we might never run out of ground beef) I decided to invest in a little 35mm camera to mess with on the farm. So here’s a lamb. Fails in stories. ‘Cause they’re funny. Photo by ME
